Bath resealing in North Hinksey without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in North Hinksey
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners

North Hinksey: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What affects the price in North Hinksey
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
